Giovanni Birarda

researcher SISSI-Bio beamline: Synchrotron Infrared source for Spectroscopy and Imaging applications for Chemical and Life Sciences Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste

Dal 2015 Birarda Giovanni è ricercatore presso la Beamline SISSI-Bio di Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. Si è laureato in Chimica Inorganica nel 2006 presso l’Università di Trieste. Nel 2011 ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca in Nanotecnologie presso la stessa Università, sviluppando dispositivi microfluidici per analisi cellulari tramite la spettroscopia infrarossa. Dal 2011 al 2014 ha lavorato presso il Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) nella divisione di Scienze della Terra e dell’Ambiente, come membro del Berkeley Synchrotron Infrared Structural Biology (BSISB), studiando organismi e biomateriali su scala micro e nanometrica. In questi anni è stato coinvolto in numerosi progetti nazionali ed internazionali, in molteplici campi della scienza, dai beni culturali, alle scienze della vita, e alla chimica ed è autore di più di 80 pubblicazioni su questi temi
